Education

Tonight -- at The Kansas Sierra Club monthly meeting, two speakers will be sharing some important information about the Tyson Chicken Processing Plant, that Governor Brownback is working hard to have built somewhere in Kansas. The economic benefits of this project will accrue to a very few Kansans -- while the negative impacts will be profound, long-lasting and disproportionally shouldered by the most vulnerable in our communities.

As part of Operation Monarch Watch, the public is invited to free presentations about monarch butterflies in the Museum classrooms. During the first hour staff members of the Topeka Zoo will teach how to tag monarchs. During the second hour participants will walk the Kansas Historical Society's nature trail catching, tagging, logging, and releasing the monarchs to continue their southbound migration.

Preregistration is required by contacting Rachael Rost at the Topeka Zoo, 785-368-9137; rrost@topeka.org.
